The property was very clean and the bed was so comfy. The lady we spoke to about dropping our bags before check-in time was lovely and helpful, (we’d got the train up to stay for one night and wanted to get the bus to John O’Groats - bus stop...

Comfortable beds. Room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Well equipped with mini fridge, kettle, microwave, iron and crockery. Lovely quiet area tucked away but very close to town centre. Parking right outside in a private courtyard
